"Our emotions and body sensations offer us important insights into what is working or not in our lives. Paying attention to our thought patterns and the messages we receive from our body/mind helps us to direct our lives to increasing happiness, calm, and fulfillment. It can be difficult to do this on our own, especially at times of feeling a loss of control or intense distress and confusion. A therapist can be a healing mirror and the relationship can provide a safe connection in order to explore life issues together."

"Don't you deserve some 'me'-time? We all do. Self-care can mean so many different things - and for many, it means having the chance to explore and unpack their unique life experience. Therapy can be one of the most profound, cathartic and challenging experiences in a person's self-development. Having been a client of therapy, I know how helpful it can be to "unpack" the weight we carry in our lives. You deserve help from an experienced, caring and creative practitioner! I support individuals who are looking for a affordable, creative, compassionate and experiential therapeutic experience."

"A gentle, sometimes urgent restlessness can awaken you. Sometimes, when you stop to listen, you hear a small but persistent voice that urges you towards healing. This voice may invite you into exploring what keeps you from love and belonging. It dares to hope for fuller joy and well-being.Through it all, you have survived but it is not uncommon to need to return to wounded places that feel old and new all at once. Painful experiences in your current life can often stir up familiar echoes, that resound against the tender places of yesteryear."

"As a relational psychotherapist, I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are searching for meaning and new direction in their lives. Based on over 25 years of experience working with clients, I realize that there is no one method to be used with every client. Pulling on a wide range of modalities, I tailor our way of working based on the client's needs and issues. Also as a Jungian, I have come to understand the value of working with dreams in order to tune into the deep unconscious currents in the psyche."

Self-Harming (Cutting) TherapistsSelf-harm (SH) or deliberate self-harm (DSH) is the deliberate infliction of damage to your own body. It includes cutting, burning, scratching, banging or hitting yourself, interfering with wound healing, and the ingestion of toxic substances or objects. While self injury (SI) can look like suicide, it's not; most people who mutilate themselves do it as a way to regulate mood. People who hurt themselves in this way may be motivated by a need to distract themselves from inner turmoil, or to quickly release anxiety that builds due to an inability to express intense emotions.
